xprompt - multilingual assistance
xprompt enables the dialog between medical care staff and patients who dont share a common language.
The basic usage of the app follows these steps:
* Choose a language for care staff and a language for patient
* Care staff sees a menu with comprehensive medical questions and instructions
* xprompt shows the phrase in the patients language in text and audio
* Patient can then use the same device and switch to his/her patient phrases
* xprompt shows the patients selected response phrase in the care staff language (again text and audio)
xprompt also provides two sign languages for the deaf and hard of hearing
* British Sign Language
* German Sign Language
These sign languages trigger short video sequences to the user, in addition to the phrase text. These language packs can be purchased and downloaded from within the app.
Please note: the 2 sign languages require iPhone OS 3.1 or later, on the device.
xprompt includes 800 medical and auxiliary phrases developed by an international team of medical professionals. Phrases are logically grouped into sections, allowing the user to quickly find a phrase.
The xprompt search function also helps users find phrases quickly by typing just a few characters. Commonly used phrases can be marked as "favorites", for quick access.
